'Guilty,' 'Autocrat,' 'Liar': See Republican Sen. Romney Vote To Convict And Remove Trump | MSNBC
Yes, he is correct
He’s doing it for publicity
@the Godfather _ A good part of his voters will want to lynch him now .
Publicity? For what benefit?
@Markiz lol most of his voters are old school republicans that are basically less progressive democrats
It wasn’t Russia who first interfered in our elections but the US Supreme Court when they stopped the legitimate Florida recount and handed the election to Bush, who invaded Iraq and destroyed the economy.
@3 Things Fishing Read the declassified CIA documents and interviews with former intelligence officials. It’s nothing secret… just not reported in the MSM

That’s exactly how the house was. No Witnesses. No evidence.
@autumn rain EXACTLY…KANGAROO COURT LOL
@Buck Browning BUT NEVER EXONERATED LMAO ! like OJ… we knew he did it !!!
Quoting Sondland while omitting that he was presuming without any first-hand knowledge, classy
I don’t like many things Romney did but this was a class move. More people should stand up for what they believe and stop being manipulated like uncultured sheep.
Political suicide, his career is finally over. Trump has a 97% approval rating in GOP. Trump keeps winning and draining the swamp.
Peloisi and Schiffs days should be over as well. This circus cost American taxpayers millions.
#Trump2020
Love to hear u guys, keep Romney into DNC cause we know hes a fake Republican.
@Mark bodman 97% with Republicans in Congress, but 40% with the American voter’s including conservatives…. 😂😂
@Mark bodman And how many millions has Trump cost, and will continue to cost the U.S. taxpayers thru his scamming for private gain thru his enterprises.
I think the entire Republican party needs to be removed from their seats. To leave room four other Republicans that are willing to do their job and obey the oath that they take.
Its too late now
All clinton did was have a consensual relatonship and lie undet oath. Trump took an oath and betrayed it as did the GOP. Mitt Rommney, brave man, respect
I agree
Clinton had a bj in the oval office
he lied to the american people and broke his vows before god to his wife, lets dont belittle it
Luckily, for Romney, he will always have proved his integrity and that he takes his responsibility to our country and his oath to uphold the constitution seriously. Protecting our nation from a dangerously lawless president is obviously more important than whether economy is good. No one is above the law. Now the rest of the GOP has become duplicitous in his dictator takeover. Everything our country, our grandfathers and fathers has fought to defend, has been destroyed by the GOP traitors.
President Bill Clinton committed the crime of lying on a deposition while under oath and was Impeached for that crime. They pretty much spanked his hand for punishment. I’ll never understand how such an intelligent man could make a blunder like that. And he is an attorney.
USA Cover Up For The World To See, USA The Blood Of The Innocent Dead is calling for Justice to GOD!!! GOD 🌊 seating at the Edge of his Throne Ready To PUSH BACK🙏🙏🙏
to much drugs? yes?
Trump exposed the sinister devils in both the DNC and RNC. Rino horned Romney just commited political suicide. Trump has a 97% approval rating in GOP.
Trump is draining the swamp of satan worshipers in the Femocrat party.
😇trump2020
😈impeachPeloisi
This impeachment was a cover up…… for Biden corruption !!!!
The USA hangs Petty Thieves & elects the BIG ones to Public Office
Yep, there’s a dragon growling at the United States, but it’s preoccupied with swatting flies.
OSKA
sounds like an old Colonial Britsh trick to me 👎🧐
Like the winter…… Bill Bar is coming.
Laws are for poor people.
@GRAY WOLF this is why Hillary, Comey, Linch, Brennan, Clapper, Biden are above the law, and because the double standard Trump is President.
Mitt’s speech was so comprehensible. He is alignment with good for the highest good of all.
He is fake, ur only saying that because he was on the dem side this one time.
Thank You #msnbc, i kept waiting for somebody to put together the republican’s greatest ‘hits!’ Why did you wait so long?!!! It may have put something on one of those bullhead’s minds!
Yall’ keep focusing on Lisa, Susan, Alexander… how about shaming the mobsters hiding in the shadows?
Watch the video till the end, or at least skip to the last minute.
Like Schiff in the SCIF?
Graham has the devil in him.
He is a sliver haired devil and sly like a fox. The perfect politician.
Ugh, once again Susan Collins fell into line following Moscow Mitchell. She should really be ashamed of herself.
No she shouldn’t. This impeachment was a sham and it only happened because the dem took control of the house. No impeachment in history has been so partisan like this one
It’s incredible all those people vehimently put T down in2016 now have done the exact opposite vehimently supporting him. Were they threatened? How can a person turn 180 like that?
Dawn Johnson Because those Republican senators only care about getting re-elected again. They’re greedy and power hungry. And of course they wouldn’t dare anger their 👑. I’m so glad Romney decided to go with his conscious and beliefs.
When Russia hacked the DNC they also hacked the RNC. The DNC info was embarrassing, the RNC info was incriminating. Putin has them all by the short hairs.
I kinda like the money..I don’t know about you.
Senators Collins and Murkowski are 100% sell outs, Two Wimps, well veiled in their corruption. Both got to go. Their Integrity is Zero, Null and Void.
Ged Bryant I agree 💯!!
The DUMPINO CRIME FAMILY
Much respect for Mitt Romney.
Political suicide. Goodbye Rhino Romney. Would love to say we will miss him, but i can’t lie.
Trump enjoys 97% poll rating in GOP, and his ratings are now higher than Obamas at same time period. Thank you shifty Schiff and pittiful Peloisi for your support.
